Building a Circular Battery Economy
Battery Tech Expo UK incorporates Battery Recycling Expo, bringing a dedicated focus on battery recycling, materials recovery, reuse and circular supply chains to the wider event at Silverstone.
As demand for batteries grows across electric vehicles, energy storage and industrial applications, the need for effective recycling infrastructure, resource recovery and sustainable lifecycle management continues to increase.
Battery Recycling Expo connects manufacturers, recyclers, technology developers, materials specialists and supply chain professionals working to develop the processes, technologies and partnerships needed to support a more circular battery economy.
Closing the loop on battery technology
The transition towards electrification presents significant opportunities and challenges for the battery recycling sector. Increasing volumes of batteries entering service, evolving regulatory requirements and growing demand for critical raw materials are driving investment in collection, processing, reuse and recovery technologies.
From safe battery handling and dismantling to advanced recycling processes and second-life applications, the industry must develop solutions that are technically effective, commercially viable and capable of operating at scale.
Incorporating Battery Recycling Expo enables Battery Tech Expo UK to connect organisations working at every stage of the battery lifecycle, encouraging collaboration between manufacturers, engineering specialists, recyclers and materials processors.
Key areas of focus
The Battery Recycling Expo element of Battery Tech Expo UK explores the technologies, processes and commercial developments shaping battery lifecycle management and resource recovery.
Key areas of focus include:
-
Battery collection, handling and logistics – Safe transportation, storage, discharge, assessment and management of used, damaged and end-of-life batteries.
-
Recycling technologies and processes – Mechanical processing, shredding, separation, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and emerging recovery technologies.
-
Critical materials recovery – Recovery and refinement of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, graphite and other valuable battery materials.
-
Battery reuse and second-life applications – Battery health assessment, diagnostics, repurposing and opportunities to extend the useful life of battery systems.
-
Automation, sorting and dismantling – Robotics, automated disassembly, identification technologies and process optimisation for safer and more efficient recycling operations.
-
Safety, compliance and regulation – Battery handling requirements, fire prevention, waste management, traceability, battery passports and evolving UK and European regulatory frameworks.
-
Circular supply chains and sustainable manufacturing – Closed-loop materials systems, recycled content, resource efficiency and collaboration between manufacturers, recyclers and materials processors.
